wine users - May 2010 - Cannot install vcrun6 or mfc42 using winetricks /Ubuntu10.04

Hi all, 

Please help with this - I'm looking anywhere for a solution, but I cannot
find any references anywhere.

Wine basically installs and runs OK (i.e. can run Notepad etc), but then I try
to install vcrun6 or mfc42 and this is what I get:


Code:

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS \n \l

$ uname -a
Linux mypc 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:27:30 UTC 2010 i686
GNU/Linux

$ wine --version
wine-1.1.42


$ rm -rf /home/USERNAME/.wine
$ wineboot
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/USERNAME/.wine'
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/USERNAME/.wine' has been updated.


$ sh winetricks vcrun6

Anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this? 

Thanks, 
Cheers!

Does that second line look like garbage characters at your end?  If that's
really what it looks like then it seems to be a UTF character-set problem,
or similar, or maybe the binary file you downloaded is corrupt.

Try it with a clean .wine directory, that might help.
